In our city and across the world, we are facing a housing and homelessness crisis. Visible homelessness, people sleeping rough on the streets, is just the tip of the iceberg. Many more women, children and families are sleeping in their cars, on other people’s couches and in severely overcrowded or temporary accommodation.
One way we are working to address this is through the Homelessness Strategy 2024-30. Our vision is of an inclusive city where every person has a home and support to break the cycle of homelessness.
Priorities
To achieve our vision we are committed to outcomes under three priority areas:
- Priority 1: A city where everyone has a home
We take a person- centred approach, preventing people from becoming homeless and supporting each person on their pathway out of homelessness. - Priority 2: A city focused on ending homelessness through partnerships and collaboration
We will create an inclusive city where everyone is supported and ensure coordinated services, collaboration and advocacy through partnerships with our community, governments, corporates and the homelessness sector. - Priority 3: A city united to end homelessness
We will support our community to be informed, respectful, empathetic and united to end homelessness.
